That's a nice list, isn't it? Now, to use paperbackswap, one lists books she no longer wants and mails them out to people who request them, earning a credit per book. You pay for the books you mail out - an average of $2 per book. You can use your credits to request other books you want and the sender pays for the shipping. It is AWESOME!!
